Okay so im looking into both of these skis but cant make up my mind.

About me:

I live and ski in the east coast

I ski 80% park 20% all mountain

I am looking for a ski that can slay rails but also can slay jumps

Thanks! +k for good feedback

inb4 gear talk..
But seriously, I'd go with the step up if you definitely only want either of them. If you're open to suggestions, I'd say the Afterbang is fucking fun..

If you want a softer ski go with the domain, and if you want a stiffer ski go with the line step up.

The domain have no camber, while the step up have a traditional camber.

The domain will be more playful while the step ups will be more stable.

Pretty different skis, step-ups are stiffer and domains are soft, rockered, and more jibby. I would go with the Recoil if you are going with K2, im not a fan of Line's park skis these days.

I seem to be stuck between the K2 recoil and the K2 domain. ive heard mixed reviews about both. Are the domains heavy and not poppy? Are the Recoil not fun because of their stifness? I ski %50 rails to jumps and came from skiing rossignol scratch ghettos THANKS

The domain isn't heavy and it has a good predictable pop due to the no camber. Some would say stiff skis are fun while others think softer skis are more fun, it's really up to you.
